An Absolute Beginner's Guide to Raising Chickens from Hatchlings to Laying Hens Do you want to raise chickens but don’t know where to begin? Then you need Chick Days , an entertaining photographic guide that chronicles the life journey of three chickens (Amelia, Honey, and Tilda) from newly hatched fluffy butterballs to grown hens laying eggs. Day by day and week by week, you’ll watch these three chickens grow and change, and along the way you’ll learn everything you need to know about chicken behavior, feeding, housing, hygiene, and health care. The witty writing of Jenna Woginrich (author of Made from Scratch ) paired with photography by Mars Vilaubi (who raised the chickens himself, along with his wife and son) will give every chicken-lover the confidence and enthusiasm to raise a flock.
